Megrette Fletcher (She/Her) is a registered dietitian, diabetes care and education specialist, public speaker, and author. She is a mindful eating leader and co-founder of The Center for Mindful Eating and InclusiveDiabetesCare.com, a continuing education company for professionals working to improve inclusion and health equity in diabetes care. Her focus on decreasing stigma fuels her passion for weight-inclusive diabetes care, treatment, and prevention.
Alongside all of her professional accolades, Megrette is also one of those warm, caring and wise people. I have had the pleasure of knowing her for almost 10 years now and have learned so much from her work in that time.
It is an honour to share this conversation with you all, and I hope there is something there for you to take away, especially if you are worried about Type 2 diabetes or are living with it, and at the same time feel done with diets.
In this conversation we speak about:
- How she came to do work in Diabetes Care
- Health inequity in Diabetes Care, meaning very few people actually get the care and support they need and deserve
- How treatment for Type 2 Diabetes have changed over the decades
- Type 2 Diabetes is about more than what you eat
- That when we witness and affirm a positive behaviour it can help create space for lasting change
- Black-and-White thinking and finding the middle ground
- Compassionate curiosity
- That it is possible to navigate Type 2 Diabetes without taking out the foods you love
- The Force of Familiar
- How mindfulness and mindful eating can help us lean into the unfamiliar
- The difference between thoughts and feelings
As you can see it is a jam packed conversation that I hope will be of benefit to many.
